Clarea Posted November 5, 2014 #2 Share Posted November 5, 2014 What is the best way to find solo deals on Royal ships? Besides doing a mock bookings using Royal's website, you can look at the weekly sales flyer: http://www.creative.rccl.com/sales/royal/Multi_Dest/Special_Offers/rci_sales_event.pdf The sales flyer will have the single supplements listed towards the bottom of each column.

cocod08 Posted November 5, 2014 #3 Share Posted November 5, 2014 yup I usually do mock bookings to see what if any deals are out there. Also there is a thread in the solo cruisers forum that people post any solo deals they find. Also look for residency discounts they are awesome for making a great deal for sailing solo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's still a great mystery on their pricing try to book one of those online and its almost never 150% example being this Dec 6th Liberty offering 150%, They are more then the double Occupancy rate for single. Your better off booking a phantom 2nd person it makes it seems. Go figure. Interior for 2 $189 pp Interior for 1 $448 Outside for 2 $249 PP Outside for 1 $749 UGHHHH Edited November 5, 2014 by Bosjoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen a single supplement more than 200%. Can't explain those prices.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdwcruises Posted November 5, 2014 #6 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Could it be because one person will not spend as much on board so the price is even higher than 200%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoopster95 Posted November 5, 2014 #7 Share Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) Doesn't make sense. I've never seen a single supplement more than 200%. Can't explain those prices.:confused: I've seen this plenty in the past year on many mock bookings. When queering my TA and C&A, it turns out the answer to me was RCL can do whatever they please, and if they provide a special pricing for double occupancy but not for solo booking, oh well... too bad so sad. This is especially true for GTY offerings. Having said that, I called in to use my final NCC for Serenade. The best offer on the RCL website (and I had it up in front of me when I called so that I can compare available cabins to choose) was an int GTY... when the RCL rep pulled up the sailing, he saw ov GTY's for solo cheaper than the interior. That did not show up for me on the RCL site. I ensured I deleted all my cookies quickly and started again, still didn't see the ov GTY but the rep still had it in front of him. So I booked it obviously. I really don't know what to say, it should be so much more straight forward than this. And to the OP... "as far as RCL goes "solo deals" is definitely an oxymoron :eek::D. (edit: I also noticed this pricing discrimination more so on third party websites rather than RCL's website) Edited November 5, 2014 by Hoopster95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted November 5, 2014 #8 Share Posted November 5, 2014 What I don't understand is why a single would pay more that 200%? Couldn't they book some fictional second person and just have them be a no-show, or am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I would do at those crazy prices....but then you would probably not get double points...or it would be a fight to get them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you find a booking that you want and it's more that 200%, just call them and they will change the price for you. Note it will take you a good half hour, but I've had it done twice now.

I did get to hold a balcony that priced correctly at 150% for a d3 but only when I signed in. So balcony with discount before taxes came to $399 before tax. I don't mind inside, which was running $189pp for PR AND Cat L not guarantee cabins. So 150% would have been nice at $283 if they learned to use a calculator. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
